He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p>I had very robust discussions with individuals [in Silicon Valley and the tech sector]. You know, the \u201cHow to accomplish it?\u201d is something that is not easily navigated. We recognize that the First Amendment concerns are extraordinarily important. It\u2019s a founding principle of our country. I think they\u2019re very dedicated to doing so. And I think the \u201cHow to\u201d and \u201cHow we can work together\u201d \u2026 is something we\u2019re all working through.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Misinformation \u201cis very much within our domain,\u201d Mayorkas said:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19\">\n<p>Misinformation \u2014 pointedly, disinformation \u2014 has very serious and significant ramifications for [the Department of] homeland security [and] the integrity of our election system. The security of our election system is a prime example of that. And so, our office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans under Rob Silver\u2019s leadership, CISA [Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency] under Jen Easterly\u2019s leadership, John Cohen leading the office of intelligence and analysis in an acting capacity, Samantha Winograd, a senior counselor to the secretary and our Acting Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism \u2014 these are individuals very much involved in their respective workforces, very much involved in addressing misinformation, disinformation, and the threats that they pose to the homeland.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bloomberg refused to ask Mayorkas about his agency\u2019s oversight over the huge flow of white-collar foreigners into Americans\u2019 tech jobs. But Brad Stone, a senior executive editor at Bloomberg News, did throw this softball question to Mayorkas:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"7\">\n<p>Do you ever get \u2026 upset by just the ubiquity of falsehoods and missile and myth in our in our public dialogue, and and the ease with which they are transported across social media and the internet?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mayorkas graciously replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p>I do. I think that false narratives present a threat to our security. The propagation of false narratives is something to be condemned. We need our leaders to step up and fight against it. Because the words of leaders, they matter quite a bit. They can be very influential in the public discourse. The Department of Homeland Security, our work, rests often at the epicenter of the country\u2019s [political] divide. And the country\u2019s divide is something that has security implications, and it\u2019s also very saddening.<\/p>\n<p>You know, last week I was privileged to attend the memorial service for Bob Dole, one of our nation\u2019s great leaders and great public servants and heroes \u2026 It spoke of a different time spoke of a time when people could disagree on policy, and still work together in the service of a country that we all love. And I am in so many others who are working to renew that day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mayorkas and his agency keep a population of roughly 1 million foreign contract workers in the jobs needed by U.S. college graduates.<\/p>\n<p>They now also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/immigration\/2021\/06\/25\/democrat-rep-el-paso-is-the-new-ellis-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cutting doorways<\/a> in the nation\u2019s border laws <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/immigration\/2021\/11\/17\/border-chief-mayorkas-justice-is-our-priority\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to extract more resources<\/a> \u2014 renters, consumers, and blue-collar workers \u2014 from poor countries.<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas\u2019 eagerness to raise the human-resource inflow is welcomed by the investors who control the technology companies, such as Paul Singer, the owner of Elliott Management.
